America is not the Heart
"Your word for love is survival . Everything else is a story that isn't about you." Today is about the novel America is not the Heart . This book is really good, and it has made me think a lot. I've even staved off reading my next book (Nora Ephron's Heartburn ) so that I can think about America is not the Heart some more. I hadn't finished it in time for book group, and no one else wants to talk to me about it (yet), so this morning I decided I could articulate my thoughts on my little, old, mostly neglected blog. At least the thoughts could take solid form instead of swirling in my head. I found a review for America is not the Heart when I was looking on the Guardian for something new to read. It's a great place for new inspiration for me - it's where I found Sarah Perry's The Essex Serpent , Tobias Hill's What was Promised and Selina Todd's The People . The New York Times review for America is not the Heart was similar
